To have ready access to food. It’s such a simple phrase within the Westmoreland County Food Bank (WCFB) mission statement. But for the thousands of residents and families who need us, having ready access to food often makes a difference we can’t easily quantify. That box of food we deliver or provide at a food pantry represents more than a meal. That box is an attempt to balance a playing field tilted mightily against a person in poverty or a family in need in our own community. It’s a chance to provide health, hope and strength for a hungry child, a worried parent, a single mother, or a disadvantaged senior citizen. As proud members of Feeding America and The United Way of Westmoreland County, the WCFB remains committed to marshalling the efforts of hundreds of volunteers, civic organizations, national associations and local or regional businesses in support of our cause. So that those among us who desperately need assistance can have ready access to food.
To e
e all Westmoreland County residents who l b na are hungry or at risk of hunger to have ready access to food.

Distribution Program The core of our work is to acquire food to distribute to needy people throughout Westmoreland County through a network of Partner Agencies comprised primarily of volunteer-run, faith-based organizations.
Emergency Food and Shelter Program (EFSP) grant monies each year from the US and Pennsylvania Departments of Agriculture. With these grants, WCFB purchases truckloads of nutritious food at wholesale prices.
While a number of our Partner Agencies are soup kitchens, shelters and other onsite feeding programs, the majority are food pantries that make up part of the Food Pantry Distribution Program.
Secondly, we receive commodities from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA); USDA purchases surplus product from farmers that is then donated to food banks. The SFPP, EFSP and the USDA commodities account for approximately 50% of the food we distribute.
WCFB acquires food in several ways. First, we receive over $500,000 in State Food Purchase Program (SFPP) and
The remaining 50% of our food is acquired through: local donations; Feeding America donations; local food drives; in-store pick-up programs. The donated food is brought to our warehouse where it is sorted, inspected and repacked, if required, by volunteers for distribution to our food pantries. Each month, WCFB delivers food to our pantries in refrigerated trucks. The pantries then distribute the food to their income-eligible participants; in order to meet income eligibility requirements, family income must be at or below 150% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines. Moreover, WCFB regularly monitors Partner Agencies to insure that USDA, Internal Revenue Service, Feeding America, and food safety/food handling regulations are met. In turn, WCFB is monitored by the State Department of Agriculture and Feeding America; WCFB is a certified affiliate of Feeding America, the country’s largest hunger relief charity.

Pilot Project Ending Hunger One Bite At A Time The Expansion and Outreach Pilot Project which focused on Jeannette and surrounding areas moved into the “action phase” in 2009 with many successes to report. New marketing materials were developed and implemented along with pantry support and best practices to assist with streamlining the distribution process. 238 new households were enrolled in the Pilot pantries; and direct distributions were established at the Jeannette Manor High Rise to provide residents unable to access a pantry with much needed food. A volunteer orientation process was implemented to enhance efforts to improve the physical aspects of pantry distributions and inform volunteers of their importance to the mission of the food bank. Many new food sources were developed through: food drives; a virtual food drive on our web site; and the national Feeding America food donation programs. Permanent drop-off sites for food donations were established in 9 businesses throughout Westmoreland County as well. A tagline of “Ending Hunger Here At Home” was incorporated in our outreach efforts and assisted in communicating the theme of the project which is “We’re all in this together”. Many community partnerships were developed during this first year of our expansion and outreach efforts in the Pilot area. 8

Feeding Programs Summer Food Service Program Proper nutrition is so important for young children; therefore Westmoreland County Food Bank continues to sponsor the Summer Food Service Program each year during the summer months when school is not in session. This program is a continuation of the National School Lunch Program with funding provided through the United States Department of Agriculture and administration through the Pennsylvania Department of Education. For eight weeks each summer, free breakfasts and lunches are served to disadvantaged children 18 years of age and under at various locations throughout Westmoreland County. In 2009, the Summer Food Service Program provided nearly 31,000 meals to an average of 600 needy children a day at 19 feeding sites throughout the County. Without this program, many of these children would not have received proper nutrition during the summer months.
CSFP/Senior Food Box Program The CSFP/Senior Food Box Program is federally funded through the State Department of Agriculture and provides supplemental, monthly food boxes for seniors and WIC Program (Women Infants and Children) graduates. The food items included in the boxes are canned fruits, vegetables and meats along with pasta, cereal, milk, juice and cheese. Each month, approximately 1,400 income eligible seniors age 60 and over and WIC graduates receive these nutritionally balanced supplemental food boxes. In 2009, nearly 460,000 pounds of nutritious food were distributed. WCFB actively participates in advocacy efforts to maintain the current caseload and make an effort to increase funding to provide these nutritionally balanced food boxes to all eligible Westmoreland County residents. The CSFP/Senior Food Box Program would not be successful without the help of the many volunteers who give so generously of their time each month to pack the boxes which are generously sponsored by Menasha Corporation. 10
Weekend Backpack Program Statistics and research have shown that a child that is nutritionally sound is more alert and focused. The Backpack Program which piloted at the Westmoreland County Food Bank in 2008 provides nutritious, healthy food to children at risk of hunger by providing them with child friendly, easy to prepare food to take home on weekends and school vacations when other resources are not available to them. This allows them to return to school well nourished and ready to learn. In 2009, through a generous grant from Wal-Mart, the Backpack Program was able to expand to include a third site. This program distributed over 19,000 pounds of food to over 200 children a week through the 3 afterschool program sites. Since there is no set funding source for this program, WCFB encourages sponsorship opportunities by conducting presentations to groups and organizations to demonstrate how the Weekend Backpack Program can help these disadvantaged children maintain proper nutrition over the weekends and during holiday breaks.
Operation Fresh Express Weekly Operation Fresh Express (OFE) distributions are held at various locations around the county to distribute primarily perishable food like dairy products and fresh produce. In 2009, OFE provided over 600,000 pounds of additional food to over 8,900 people with the help of over 700 volunteers. 11
Drives Scouting for Food
Approximately 3000 Scouts from the Westmoreland Fayette Boy Scout Council did a good turn on Saturday, April 4 for the 21st annual “Scouting for

The first annual Campus Challenge Food Drive was held at the end of the spring semesters
Campus Challenge
across three campuses in the county. University of Pittsburgh at Greensburg collected the most food per resident student. Other college campuses who participated were Seton Hill University and St. Vincent College. They salvaged 1,585 pounds of food that might have been tossed in the garbage, when students move out of their dorms. This was the “mind child” of Brian Root, former Resident Director of UPG.

Gleaning
Greenawalt Farms donated 9,500 pounds of corn picked by our gleaning volunteers. During the harvest season, you can find the Greenawalt family up early every morning overseeing this grand farm and the fruits of their labor. We thank the gleaning volunteers, as well as the Greenawalt family for their generosity and for educating our gleaners about how to pick corn. The Hunger Garden donated 44,372 pounds of fresh produce, including tomatoes, beans, zucchini, peppers, corn, etc. to WCFB during the 2009 growing season. The Hunger Garden is approximately 7 acres and is maintained by the generosity of the property’s owner, Dick Shaver, his Volunteer Coordinator, Lyn Hunter and 100’s of community volunteers. 18

Events Sing for Their Supper The second “Sing for Their Supper� event was held in the fall of 2009 in Irwin by the Irwin Business and Professional Associates. A good time was had by all and a lot of food and funds were donated to the Food Bank. Check our web site for details about this great event.
4th Annual Turkey Cup Challenge This year, twelve schools participated and helped to raise $29,066.56 to purchase turkey vouchers for lowincome families for Thanksgiving. Yough Intermediate Middle School was once again the Champion.
20
Empty Bowl Event The First Annual Empty Bowl event was held March 1, 2009. Karen Piper and her committee of dedicated volunteers worked for over a year to put together this wonderful event. For one’s admission, they received a hand-crafted bowl, bread, a beverage, and a meager meal of soup donated by a local restaurant. Many craft shops and ceramic shops worked closely with Karen and her crew to have bowls made by community members, and school students, and over 1,000 bowls were donated. This wonderful event that raised thousands of dollars for the Westmoreland County Food Bank will be held each year on the second Sunday in March at the St. Bruno’s Parish Hall in Greensburg.
21
Events Steelers Training Camp Food Drive The Westmoreland County Food Bank and the Pittsburgh Steelers teamed up for a food drive at their practice game at Latrobe High School in early August. The event was successful and fun. Thousands of people donated food and funds to help tackle hunger in their community. Giant Eagle matched the total pounds donated. Thank you to the Pittsburgh Steelers and all in the community who donated.
22
Day of Caring Medrad and MSA participated in United Way’s Day of Caring. Employees from both businesses repackaged donated food and painted an entrance way in our warehouse. Paint was generously donated by PPG for this project. Day of Caring gives United Way donors the opportunity to see some of the agencies that they support.
23
Agencies Partner agencies are comprised of food pantries that distribute monthly food boxes to eligible recipients at their pantries; soup kitchens, and on-site feeding programs that provide daily or weekly hot meals to recipients. WCFB regularly monitors its partner agencies to ensure that food is properly stored, distributed and/or served, and that all client eligibility requirements are met. In 2009, surveys were sent to partner agencies and recipients requesting information to assist WCFB in its agency capacity expansion. Food safety training was provided for all partner agencies and WCFB staff. In November, free flu shots were provided by Excela Health, Inc. at 10 central Westmoreland County food pantries. In addition, WCFB received funds through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) to provide additional food for eligible individuals who had been unemployed from October 1, 2008 and forward. Gift cards were mailed to all eligible recipients in December.
